Yep.  The other entanglements I've seen with breast collars (other than the
pickup mirror incident) have been with brush or limbs, and have generally
occurred either when horses have spooked off-trail for some reason, or under
conditions other than endurance riding (can remember one on a cattle drive,
in the brush) when one has to go places other than a trail.  The less
"stuff" I have on my horse, the less chance he has of getting entangled on
ANYTHING, and the safer he is.
